It was amazing to see in person, you would have loved it. I wish I could have given it the time it deserved when I was looking at the exhibit. It's so much to take in! I'm glad you liked the video, it's almost like being there. Thanks for the comment.

I loved sharing that video! and yes, I too am in awe of Nancy's talent. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your comment.

I used the glue dots that I got so long ago that I couldn't even tell you what they were. Today, I have a preference for these dots called nano dots. They can be cleaned and reused if they lose their stickiness, and they hold great. Holding down the stencil is not even close to what they are capable of holding. A search on Amazon for nano dots will bring them up. They're about $5 for over 300 of them. Have you made any HST with your new stencil? I quilted that quilt with 60037 - splash of love, overall pattern. It turned out great, I gave it to a new mama for her baby. I'll have to put a picture of it on the listing for that stencil.

Thank you!

OMGosh! I'm glad you found us!

Yes! Hand quilting in a frame or hoop is best.

Have fun!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

That's great! Soon, I'll be working on the 2024 slide show 😃

@@fulllinestencilbyhancycrea9939 I’m looking forward to it!💕

Thanks for the question. It didn't gum up the needle at all for me. I don't put that much on, and it quickly evaporates holding the chalk in place in the process. I also think when you press the stencil to help the hairspray keep it from moving, after you lift it off, any residue from excess hairspray is now on the stencil. That residue can be cleaned off easily should it become an issue. I've not seen that with the hairspray, but I have seen it when I've used stronger adhesives like basting sprays.

Thank you.

Hi there, I've been using this method for a couple of years now. I've never had any type of build up on the longarm needle or the fabric. I use a lint brush after quilting and the Chalk comes right off with lint brush, but doesn't bounce off with hopper foot on longarm. You can always wash the quilt after binding it, and the ultimate irons off also

In the case of that particular quilt, I did nothing by way of removing chalk or hairspray. It wasn't necessary. If it was, washing the quilt or ironing of the chalk would work. The hairspray has long evaporated. I noticed no residue from it

I think if there is any trick, it would be that you fold the bag in the center of the ziplock. Don't try to pour it from the end. It's hard to explain, but if you watch the video again at 2:26 minutes, watch closely, and you'll see. If I were to pour from the cut of the zipper the chalk doesn't flow as well and could get hung up and then suddenly come out in a large clump rather than a steady stream that you can control easier. I hope this makes sense! Some people also have told me they use a spoon; that might be a method worth trying, too. Thanks for the question!

Yay! Thank you!

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching the video!

Thank you Laurel, for your kind words. When I was in Houston I saw a billboard that read "Don't give up! Rise Up!" it's kind of my thing now. I'm so glad we're friends❤

Love your new saying! I'm glad we are friends also 🤗

I'm not sure I can say across the board there won't be any stickiness, especially with basting sprays. I've tried several different brands of basting spray though and have yet to see it as an issue. There was a bit of tackiness once but it actually helped my gloves grip the fabric even better so I saw it as a plus. And washing it removed all residue. As for ironing off the chalk when using the basting spray, I don't know if it will be okay. The iron-off chalk stays on so nicely that I haven't tried using the basting spray with it. I have used hairspray, though and you can iron off the chalk when you use it. Make sure it's dry by the time you iron. That's how it's always been for me so I can't speak to ironing over damp hairspray. I would avoid it. It is a game changer for the color chalk for sure, and they are the ones that could use that extra adhesion so it's a perfect match! Thanks for the question!

Wonderful! Thanks for the feedback :)

Did you mean the link for the pattern? It's in there now. Maybe you saw it by now. I need to fix my TH-cam comments notifications! Sorry about that late reply and thanks for your comment.

Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad you're finding the newsletters helpful!

Set your iron to a medium heat setting. I've used it at a linen setting before but it can be too hot on that setting. Something below cotton is about right, you can always turn it up if you need to. Irons vary, just stay away from a very high setting and keep your iron moving.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you like it.

I'm so glad you find this easy-to-produce illustration effective. Thanks so much for your feedback!

I'm so glad!

You're so welcome - thank you for your order and your feedback!

I appreciate that suggestion. I'm thinking, what do I have coming up? hmmm I have my quilt about done that has 29 pieces per 9" block, multi-color, but a lot of the background is white. It could be a good candidate. If not, I will get something together because I agree, that it would be very beneficial. You might check out the quilt I have a video of in the meantime th-cam.com/video/AGFxSO_zFKE/w-d-xo.html it's very multicolored but not an intense patchwork of quilting. Have you seen it?

Thank you for asking that! I forgot to mention, I did spray over the chalk with my Best Press.

We had a blue water erase pen but ran out and we're having a hard time reordering them. We will keep trying.

Thank you Marion, you are too kind. The truth is a problem solver with lots of problems to practice on came up with that idea.

I did not. I thought about it afterward. I think it would be safer to get that thicker foot on. That was the first time I used a ruler on that machine. It's one I have for my long arm. I never thought I was in danger of hitting the ruler although I'm sure it could happen. My scariest moments were a few times when I put it right up next to the needle and caught myself! Kind of like putting the ruler right next to the blade of your rotary cutter - seemed intuitively correct. Next time I'm going to change to a different foot. Thanks for writing, it was a good question.
